review 1: IT SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE FUN THAN IT WAS! I DON'T UNDERSTAND! Loved the characterisation of Alice and enjoyed the story enough that I did read up on the history afterward, so it obviously done quite a bit right, but I can't put my finger on what was missing here for me. Could've be...

review 1: The fictional story of Katherine de Valois, a princess of France, her short-lived marriage to Henry V and her enduring love for Owen Tudor, a steward in her household. Although little is known of her historically, she was the mother of Henry VI, the hapless king defeated by the Y...

review 1: Probably really a 3 1/2 star book. It was nice to get the story of Anne Neville, not a character who is normally featured in history since she was not a king or queen for a long period of time. I liked the continuation of the story from childhood to adulthood and how the love s...
